DIW-Bildungsforscher @jaschadraeger.bsky.social hat anhand englischer Schuldaten erforscht, wie Fehlzeiten und Bildungserfolg zusammenhängen. Die Studie zeigt: Insbesondere Fehltage zwischen 6. und 10. Klasse wirken sich negativ auf die Abschlussnote aus. Zum Podcast: t.co/CrH1HsDStz
Podcast-Zitat von DIW-Bildungsforscher Jascha Dräger: “Personen, die mehr Fehlzeiten in der Schule hatten, haben als Erwachsene im Durchschnitt geringere Bildungsabschlüsse und ein geringeres Einkommen.”
